In 1922 The Farmer's Wife Magazine ran a contest that asked the question "Would you want your daughter to marry a farmer?" Fast forward 90yrs and Laurie Hird designed a quilt (queen-sized I think) using blocks with a general farm-y theme. Her book "The Farmer's Wife Sampler" includes patterns for these blocks and answers to the original contest question. Now, I want to say they are 6" blocks but don't quote me, they could be 4" blocks.

Thank you for all the information you have given on all of these chat sites. I have learned a lot by reading what you have told us. Opinions are important part of our lives and friends are also a GREAT PART of our lives.
